Ask HN: Good Book on Stochastic Differential Equations?

5 pointsby faizshah4 anni fa4 comments

Hi HN,

Any recommendations on a book on stochastic differential equations?

Looking for something that is more applied and explains it to me like I took calculus years ago and hardly remember it but want to learn financial modeling with SDEs.

I was reading a book on the volatility surface but the math in there is too advanced for me.

I am not an expert in SDEs (my background is machine learning) but if I wanted to dig more into the subject, this is where I personally would start. Code [1] and pdf [2] for the book are available.

Simo Särkkä and Arno Solin (2019). Applied Stochastic Differential Equations. Cambridge University Press. Cambridge, UK.

Maybe you should start with ordinary differential equations if you've forgotten calculus.
